How it works

One access. Enter it once. Live all evening.

Photo booth or camera send every shot to your event – nobody has to swap cards or upload anything by hand.

FTPS (TLS) or WebDAV · one access per device, can be paused or revoked individually

Works with what is already at the event

A technical route into the gallery that needs no app on anyone's phone.

  • Photo boothsMost photo booth programs (e.g. dslrBooth, Breeze, Darkroom Booth) have FTP upload built in – just enter the access details.
  • Cameras with FTPMany professional cameras (e.g. Canon EOS R, Nikon Z, Sony Alpha) send every shot straight from the camera menu. Set the transfer to JPEG.
  • ComputersMount the event as a network drive via WebDAV (e.g. with Cyberduck, WinSCP or rclone) – upload, browse and delete.

Set per access

Every device gets its own, revocable individually without disturbing the others.

Permissions per device

Upload only (the device can never delete anything), own uploads (deleting at the booth moves the photo to the event’s recycle bin) or the whole event – for operators only.

Pause or revoke

Every access can be paused or revoked on its own – the other devices keep sending.

A QR code for every photo

Many photo booth apps can show a QR code that leads straight to that photo in the gallery – via a link template with the file name as placeholder.

Deleted stays deleted

Optional: photos you delete are not sent again at the next sync, so the booth doesn’t upload them over and over.

Your own password

Leave it empty for an automatic one, or use the password already set in your photo booth (10–64 characters).

Full quality

The original file is kept, for the later download and for printing.

The good shots are still on the card

The gap between phone shots and professional ones

  1. 1Who it's forPhotographers with a Wi-Fi-capable camera
  2. 2What happensThe camera sends straight to the gallery via FTP or WebDAV
  3. 3In the endProfessional shots in the gallery and on the wall while the party is on
More details

Guest photos are there instantly, but unedited and shaky. The photographer's pictures are good, but arrive weeks later — once the party feels long over and nobody is looking any more.

Live upload closes that gap. Modern cameras can send frames straight to a server; Photogala receives them over FTP or WebDAV and treats them like any other picture in the event.

It changes the evening: the photo wall carries more than phone snapshots — it carries the work somebody was paid for. And the guests see it while they are still in the middle of it.

Live upload questions

1Which cameras work?
Any that speak FTP or WebDAV — directly, or through tethering software on a laptop.
2Do I need Wi-Fi at the venue?
An internet connection, yes. Many photographers use their phone's hotspot when the venue has no reliable Wi-Fi.
3Do guests see the pictures immediately?
Only if you want them to. With approval switched on, professional shots wait for your confirmation too.
4Can I revoke access again?
Yes, at any time and per device — handy once the job is done.
5Is full resolution kept?
Yes. Smaller versions are produced for display while the original stays available for download.
6Does it work with several photographers?
Yes. Each gets their own credentials, and you can see which pictures came from which device.
7What happens if the connection drops briefly?
The camera or software sends the backlog as soon as the connection returns.
8Do these pictures count against my storage?
Yes, like all other content in your event. Storage depends on your plan — 1 GB per participant, so 250 GB on the Premium plan.
